How to Make Your Own Kahoot-Style Quiz for Your Class (No Student Logins)

Kahoot is great until the free plan stops at 10 players and you have 32 students.

You can now build your own live class quiz in one message, without code. We built one for a water cycle lesson and played a full game with nine students. Here's the prompt, every screen and what we tested.

Illustration. The real screens are further down.

• Stay on Kahoot if your class fits your plan and you like its ready-made quizzes.

Build it on omg.dev

1. Pick a design reference

Kids love quizzes that look like games. In Design Bank, omg.dev's free library of app designs, pick one you like (we chose Duolingo), type your idea, and it writes a starting prompt with reference images.

2. Describe the quiz

Start a new session on omg.dev and describe the quiz. The button at the top of this page fills in ours:

Build a live class quiz like Kahoot. I write questions with four answers and mark the right one; start with 8 water cycle questions. The projector shows a 6-digit code and a QR code. Students join on phones or Chromebooks with the code and a first name, no accounts. Each question has a 20-second timer, and faster right answers score more. Check answers on the server, allow one answer per student, and never send the right answer early. After each question, show the answer counts and the top 5; at the end, a podium for the top 3. Use Duolingo from Design Bank (https://design-bank-kml6n.omgs.app/#ref=duolingo) as the design reference. Before you say it's done, play a full game with a projector tab and three student tabs, then publish it.

It says who does what, the rules that keep it fair, the look, and asks the agent to test before it's done.

3. Let the agent build and test it

The agent builds the screens, database and server rules, tests them and publishes a live link. No database, hosting or logins to set up. Ours was live in under 10 minutes, plus about 15 minutes of testing and fixes.

4. What you get

The editor. Edit any question and tap the right answer.

The lobby. A code and QR code on the projector. Names pop up as students join.

A question. A 20-second timer on the big screen, four big answers on each phone. Each answer has a colour and an icon, so colour-blind students can play.

The answer. Votes per answer and the top 5. Each phone shows points and place.

The podium. The top three on the big screen. Every student sees their place.

5. What we tested

A projector screen, three phones and six more students joining at once:

Test	Result
9 students join	All 9 names on the big screen
Two students called Mia	The second is asked to add a letter
One answer tapped 5 times at once	Counted once
A phone asks for the answer early	Not sent until time is up
Everyone answers before the timer ends	The answer shows straight away
Another computer tries to start the game	Refused
"Play again" after the podium	Same students, scores back to 0
A full 8-question game	Podium and places correct

6. What we fixed

The first game showed four problems, each a quick fix:

• The game code on phones was too small.
• The join link looked messy (?code=%22516996%22).
• The podium was cut off on a 720p projector.
• There was no QR code.

Play a full game yourself before you take it to class.

Tips for class

• Make the quiz on the projector's computer. That browser is the host.
• Let students scan the QR code. On Chromebooks, type the website and code.
• Use "Play again" to keep the same students and reset the scores.

Ideas to ask for next

• Teams: add up each table's points.
• Your language: "Translate every screen into Spanish."
• Pictures: "Let me add a picture to each question."
• Homework mode: "Let students take it at home at their own pace."
• AI questions: "Write 10 fraction questions for 10-year-olds."
